Follow the signs towards Radsattel/Bieltal. Initially, the path leads you comfortably on a wide gravel road. This later changes into a trail, which ultimately leads you up to the Radsattel. Once at Radsattel you have completed the ascent. From here, a well-marked path leads down the other side of the Radsattel to the Wiesbadener Hütte.
